Publisher's summary

His dark seduction will be her undoing....

After being cruelly jilted by a lord who claimed to adore her, Miss Payton Peppiwell swore her future husband would be as ordinary as she. Now if only her family would listen to her. Then she meets Mikhail Konstantinovich, an untitled horse breeder, in a highly improper and scandalous encounter. Never had Payton expected to be so attracted to the dark, intriguing man, who seduces her to recklessness with a mere stare.

Mikhail abhors anything to do with intimacy. Yet Miss Peppiwell stirs hunger and a need long forgotten in him. But Mikhail has a dark past - one that means his lust must be sated in a way entirely unsuitable for a lady. But his biggest secret will be the hardest for Payton to overcome: Mikhail is not only titled, he's a prince....

The Russian accent

I am a pretty tolerant listener. This accent was abhorrent. Old decrepit man with maybe a toad type accent? So bad.

Almost 5 stars

I would’ve given 5 stars if it weren’t for the narration. The story was almost perfect. I love the idea of the Russian accent but it sounded a bit odd and not as masculine as I would’ve liked. Sure there were a couple times I thought she was being a bit stupid for her decision for not being with him but she overcame it quickly. I love how powerful and confident he was. The sex scenes were very steamy! I also enjoyed that the conflict in the story didn’t revolve around some villain trying to kidnap or kill one of the characters. That story gets old and sometimes feels too much like another book and not a romance. Stacy Reid has done a great job with this book as she had in her other books. Highly recommend.

The accent was insufferable

This is one of those novels where the narrator killed the book before the story began.

Horrible Russian accent

I enjoyed the idea of the Russian prince; however, his voice was that of an older sickly man. Her voice was too soft. They weren’t compatible.

Loved the accent she used!

Loved it! The accent was so memorable and made my drive so much faster. For a 4 hour drive that is what I needed.

Nails on a chalkboard

I don’t even know if I liked the story because I could not get passed the worst narration ever. Don’t waste your time.
